When the snow report beckons with “best day yet,” the Rubicon Rider Jacket gives you warmth and the freedom to charge. It combines a water-resistant and breathable shell fabric to vent your high-output moisture with stay-warm-when-wet insulation to keep you comfortable and mobile – all in a new women's-specific fit with a tailored silhouette and updated with additional length. Tough,100% recycled polyester reinforcement panels beef up the shoulders, elbows and bottom hem to increase storm performance and protect from abrasion. Inside, a soft layer of compressible 150-g Thermogreen 100% polyester (90% recycled) insulation adds heat to ice-box temperatures. Finer points include pit zips, zip-off powder skirt with webbing loop (compatible with any Patagonia snow pants) and a removable helmet-compatible hood. Zippered pockets: two handwarmers; two chest; two internal drop-in for goggles and gloves; one internal zippered stash includes secure media pocket with cable routing. With an embedded RECCO avalanche rescue reflector.

I use the product for everyday winter wear as I live in cold South Dakota. I also use it for snowboarding and sledding! It works great to keep me warm; I'm always the warmest of my friends, and pretty stylish.
